[QUOTE=12sandwich]Anythings a improvement from that bumbling idiot we had. And speaking of what there willing to do.

well, I"m not defending Bush or praising Republicans. Poe keeps trying to get me to do that, but no bite. :-)
I'm talking about a future like the pasts of other recent national experiences, millions of starving dead people, mass graves in America, re-education camps, the whole Stalin experience... Mao too.. FDR tried to become that kind of dictator but his health failed first.. congress established 2-term limit to prevent the next one from trying it.
It's a whole different level from comparing presidents and criticizing stupid politicians.. and even worrying about what foreigners think of us..
it's worrying about our literal freedom. Some people don't seem to be able to imagine it. But history does repeat itself, and this stuff was done in very recent history, within the past hundred years, at several places around the world... they all had the same results... labor camps ([I]read The Gulag Archipelago-- Solzhenitsyn couldn't get Americans to get off the couch and listen to him, either[/I]), starvation due to inept and politicized central control of all resources, shortages of life necessities like fuel and electricity and clothing and shoes and so forth ...
We can say Bush was stupid or Hitler or whatever... but Obama is headed straight for Premiership of the Politburo... and private enterprise in this country will all eventually belong to government, whether literally like the car companies or figuratively like the German industries which all took orders from Hitler rather than be put out of business the hard way... Statism, fascism, socialism, communism, Leninism, Maoism, Stalinism, Marxism, leftism... it's all the same diktat. Minor variations.
General Electric reminds me a bit of the German industries like Krupps... Immelt is in all the Obama meetings, and when the country outlaws incandescent light bulbs, then GE is first in line with all the fluorescent bulbs which are now both mandatory and being purchased by government to 'rebulb' the homes of the poor...
Obama doesn't own GE but GE does what Obama wants in order to benefit from it. Statism, fascism, everyone moving in the same direction voluntarily or not.
It is happening, and fast, and most of us don't seem to notice or care. Too busy calling Bush Chimpy McHitlerBurton and kissing the O-Butt to notice that we're being turned into a totalitarian state, day by day, law by law, change by hope.
Is it 300 yet?
I"m picturing a labor camp some years from now, with a bunch of leftists in striped pajamas, barefooted in the cold, ribs showing through when the wind blows against them, standing in line for gruel and making casual conversation..

THIS.... IS.... GR!!!!!!!!!! (kick)[/QUOTE]
This thread took off only because slow motion rehearsals work! ha
Seriously, I completely changed my golf swing in a couple of months or less. I took lessons as I had before, but this time I actually did what the pro said would be necessary--and that was a LOT of slow motion rehearsal swings. Also the "arms crossed" move sequence drill.
And I will continue to do that, rehearsing the moves during and/or before I practice and play. Each time I am unhappy with my swing I will review the moves in slow motion and re-ingrain what I should have done.
A careful warmup is much more important than I ever imagined. I know I must reinforce what I want to do that day-- and studiously avoid making any OTT or partial turn swings. Like bad apples in a barrel, even one early on can contaminate and spoil a whole round!
See ya out there! I am playing the Navy "Sea-n-Air" course on Coronado Island Sunday-- my wife and I with another couple.

Scary stuff, but I am encouraged that a lot of smart people are on the case-- and they are determined to throw these bums out! Obama continues to drop in the polls-- is now down to only the hard core dependents on government types-- who would vote democrat if Obama were a convicted child molestor in prison.
Listening to Karl Rove this morning explain what is going to hit in the next few months. If seniors are not marching in the streets with flaming torches I will be surprised. They are going to get hit by Medicare and especially Medicare Advantage cuts-and they are going to either have to wait months for mediocre treatment or be refused for routine procedures--no new knees or hips, etc. More employers are going to refuse to hire and even lay off workers as a result of Obama Care. Banks and home lenders continue to thumb their noses at the White House-- they are NOT going to modify more than a few mortgages and they are NOT going to lower credit card interest rates. There will be a wave of new foreclosures as home prices continue DOWN.
So the November elections could be a complete 1994-level bloodbath for democrats. More and more people are going to wish Bush was back..............

Well dems have always wanted what they are doing now-- but we were OK because republicans moderated and limited them. Now the smart ones even among the liberals are wishing someone or something would stop them from destroying this country-- doing permanent damage to our economy. That's why 35 or so voted against Obamacare. Smart people of both philosophies know we could reach a point where recovery is impossible- sinking into permanent European-level unemployment and Socialism. There could be zero possibility of an entrepreneur with an idea in his garage could starting a company like Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Microsoft, etc. That could not happen in Europe and the day is coming when it can no longer happen here. An entrepreneur would be taxed, regulated, or sued out of business before they got off the ground.
Republicans under Bush strayed from our philosophy--and allowed the watered down wishy-washy "Rockefeller Republcan" stuff that both sides hate. Bush didn't veto and he didn't PUSH HARD to get Social Security reform and other bills that would have been something to talk about.
BUT, I think this new wave of young Republicans are ready to kick butt. They are listening to Hannity, Rush, and Palin and Romney, et. al. and they know where they messed up.

If you are talking about the privatization of Social Security you've lost your mind. If Social Security was privatized when the banking system started to crashed there would have been a backlash against the GOP like you've never seen before. It would be interesting to see the public's reaction to suggesting that we privatize this system now. I'm sure most would not want to give more money to the bankers that almost ruined capitalism.

when Bush advocated privatization, he did not know or realize the extent to which Dems had used Fannie/Freddie to corrupt the housing market. Dems concealed this stuff carefully so they could keep doing it.
Once Bush realized this, he (and McCain) repeatedly tried to get Congress to put a stop to the excessive undercapitalization/overstretching of Fannie/Freddie, knowing taxpayers were on the hook for billions. Barney Frank responded at one point by claiming the [I]regulators needed to be investigated[/I], because fannie/freddie were fine and nothing was wrong. That was late 2005. By fall 2007 the bubble was bustin'.
Franklin Raines at one point in 2005, while CEO of Fannie, claimed that the standard capitalization rate of 4% was entirely too conservative for Fannie, that the loans were so solid and the future so bright that Fannie could be capitalized at TWO PERCENT and lend out more of the money and all would be well.
Frankline Raines went home in disgrace with millions in bonus money, just as the perilous financial state of his organization was becoming apparent..
The democrat party, not 'greedy bankers', wrecked the housing market, protecting their turf like gangsters when challenged, doing 'backdoor socialism' with taxpayer money, encouraging banks to lend to people who couldn't pay it back, and relieving the banks of the responsibility for good lending practices (that is to say, of the RISK) by placing it on the backs of the taxpayers instead.
Bush tried on more than one occasion to get an accounting for fannie/freddie, but was thwarted by Dems like Frank and Dodd. Corruption, GOVERNMENT style, and child's play compared to what's coming.

See, that right there is abso-freaking-loutely frightening. When those diptards become the guiding compass, that's when we get disasters like this healthcare bill. If the republican leadership would have been focused a little less on making Obama look like ****, and a little MORE focused on their jobs (namely, working on the bill that helps the people AND is fiscally responsible, rather than playing a huge gamble to do nothing but try to kill it) we may have had something useful. But, morons on the fringe, mostly followers of the idiot brigade you mention, pushed them into pure stupidity... and now we're all on the hook.

FWIW, these leftards have wanted this bill for a hundred years, and it is mostly composed of what they wanted, which was pure government control of all the small details and a hostile environment for the private insurance companies which will eventually drive them out of business, leaving govenrment the de facto insurer of everyone... otherwise known as "universal single payer health care', which candidate Obama repeatedly said he favored.
The 'dealing' and payoffs and all that sick political stuff went straight to other Democrats. Blame them. If this bill is a disaster, the Democrats own it, lock stock and PX 6.0. At any time, the great and reasonable and honorable Democrats could have passed any bill they wanted by simple majority vote. their problem was, the great majority of the [I]public[/I] didn't want it, and they had to strongarm or bribe some of their own reps/Senators into voting for it against the will of their constituents.
"Helps the people and is fiscally responsible"
That would be, ah, tort reform with caps on pain and suffering taking $150 billion in defensive medicine out of the annual costs), an end to artificial state borders which have always blocked true price-lowering competition in the insurance business (borders created by Dems mandating coverage state by state), and in the worst case scenario, we could literally [I]purchase insurance for those who truly can't afford it[/I] (which would cost less than one tenth of what will now be spent on 'health care for everyone' in a nation where 85% of people repeatedly said they were happy with their health care.)
I would have voted for writing checks every year to pay premiums for poor people. Could have given insurance to thirty million people for six to twelve billion a year, instead of the gazillions Oblama will spend on ruining the best system in the world.
ONly one question left to answer... where will the Canadian politicians go to get heart surgery now?

Hey, lets talk about golf along with politics. As we throw Obama and his Socialist cabinet out, we should work on our golf swing.
This is what I do for an hour or so some afternoons. Sure takes my mind off those liberal loons!
I listen to Rush in the mornings and Shawn in the afternoons and then Roger Hedgecock at 3 PM. Tonight I watch Hannity, O'Reilly, Brit Hume, and now Sarah! Live is good for a conservative! Fox News is CRUSHING all the other cable channels, CNN is fading fast, MSNBC is almost non-existent. Why can't they learn that NOBODY wants to watch or hear liberal nonsense? They got Obama elected--and now nobody wants to admit that they voted for him!

What party would that be, I wonder.....?
How many times must I say I am not a republican before someone will stop throwing 'my party' at me?
Once more can't hurt.
I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN.
I am a conservative. Nobody has done conservatism lately, certainly not Bush sr or jr.
Obama is doing communism/socialism/fascism/statism/leninism/maoism/marxism/leftism.
which, historically, does not end well for the little people. We die at the end.
Between now and the end, they'll be 'reclaiming' countless golf courses, decrying the bourgeois activity of golf and declaring that earth is better served to release golf courses back into the wild....
and that, my friend Wo Fat, is the unkindest cut of all...

Drudge shows O'Really with 2.9 million viewers, Olbermann with just under a million.. sure, 3-1 advantage, but it's not like Olby has no influence or reaches nobody. There's an audience for everything ([I]except leftist talk radio, which has failed every time it's tried, anywhere it's tried, even in Frisco or NYC[/I]).
And O'Really, Fox's biggest draw, isn't even a conservative. He's more like an O'Really fan... loves himself.. thinks he's the brightest bulb in the knife drawer.. libertarian with Catholic leanings but mostly loves himself...
everyone else on the left gets pretty competitive with the Fox shows.. Fox is the hot property right now but not exactly 'crushing' as you seem to think...
I'd be happy if leftist media was on the ropes, but TV really isn't ... maybe newspapers, which is why Obamao is considering using taxpayer dollars to subsidize newspapers.. his buttlicking New York Times is losing money hand over fist and Obamao won't let them go out of business, not while they're worshipping at his altar...
I loved that Pinch Sulzberger, owner and boss of the NYT, gave himself six million dollar bonus when the company is desperately borrowing money from Carlos Slim at 12% just to stay alive... talk about 'evil capitalist rich guys'... wonder if his own editorial section will assault his greed and perfidy...
But don't get carried away thinking it's going to become conservative heaven in this country... plenty of thoughtful, strong-willed people with leftward views, including a few on these pages I have come to respect, even if they won't quit calling me a republican..
and no, I won't name them. :-)

I wonder how much hes got in that swing? Cause I see alot more needed. That warm up routine was pretty lame. I would move far away cause its gay. Can anything be done with that arm breaking. I dont want to hear any geriatric crap, cause one of my regulars is 63 his swing is ten times prettier not a lesson. Hard work got him that swing, when I was 11 or 12 I met him, hed hit 2 or 3 hundred balls a day. I saw what it took.

And if Larry turned that right hand (for righties it would be the left hand of course) any farther into the strong position, his thumb would be UNDER the club.
He's bound up. Can't release. Top hand grip too strong. Hips and shoulders out of sync. Doesn't look like he manages to get any power to the ball. It's all gone before the club gets there. The top of the backswing actually looks okay, but it all comes apart on the way back down to the ball. "Swinging gate" syndrome. Power robbed.

Larry,
Those slow motion drills look pretty decent, but one word of caution...you might want to keep the head (and ultimately spine) in one place while using proper footwork and weight shifting. You had a ton of speed at the end of the video, but you need to keep the head and spine more centered....if the head doesn't stay back, you will end up hitting the ball too low and possibly thin it.
In my opinion, the whole point of posting up on the lead leg is to help retain the spine angle (and head position). There can be movement on the backswing, but once you start unwinding, you want the spine angle in the same spot....it will feel like the head is staying back while everything else is moving towards the target.
One of the reasons stack and tilt works so good with short irons, is guys post weight on their lead leg and leave it there for the whole swing (can't leave weight on front foot for longer clubs, because you will lose balance on backswing). Using a narrow stance with shorter clubs gives a similar benefit....this seems a bit off topic, but IMO, the weight shift isn't the engine of the golf swing, its just a way to stay in balance.

this is the 2nd time you've posted this. See my previous post. How is the research on cds's and sub prine bonds going anyway? These bankers were too greedy to do there jobs right. Call it competitve greed if you want. :)
You're about personal responsiblity and these bankers made their choice to play and they made millions. Even with the policies nobody was holding a gun to the bankers and making them play. Some didn't and they were not affected as much.

Assuming he never played golf. If he was a golfer, he'd be able to see it from a plane flying overhead.[/QUOTE]
POTD for whatever day you did this.
but par for the Zo course... :-)

Hey, lets talk about golf...[/QUOTE]
OK, you're still getting it wrong.

[QUOTE=daveperkins]And if Larry turned that right hand (for righties it would be the left hand of course) any farther into the strong position, his thumb would be UNDER the club.
He's bound up. Can't release. Top hand grip too strong. Hips and shoulders out of sync. Doesn't look like he manages to get any power to the ball. It's all gone before the club gets there. The top of the backswing actually looks okay, but it all comes apart on the way back down to the ball. "Swinging gate" syndrome. Power robbed.[/QUOTE]
I see that early release. I know what causes it. So I continue to work to make an earlier strong weight shift and post--to more aggressively lead my downswing with hips. Just gets better!
I played a long Navy course in pretty high winds yesterday and shot 41/41, hitting all but 2 of the fairways and about half the greens. The greens were very difficult because they were mottled poanna--unreadable. From tee to green, I hit it straight and about 230-240 measured by GPS. I never sliced or faded except when I wanted that ball flight pattern. I scored a littler higher than my tee to green play would predict--because I too often confronted long putts for par. I made some of those, but missed and made bogeys.
I am VERY encouraged because for the first time EVER, I feel no mystery or confusion about any part of my golf swing. I KNOW what I should do, what it should feel like, and exactly what happened when I mishit or the ball doesn't go straight. I can build on that.
I hit it straighter and longer as the round progressed, and that is the bottom line. As my swing got better I became more confident and relaxed. So I recommend lessons even more strongly than before. Take a series.

The one on North Island? The course that measures less than 6400 from the tips? Where the rating is 70.3 and the slope is 117 (just barely above average)?
[URL="http://www.golfsd.com/sea_n_air.html"]That[/URL] "long Navy course".
And "high winds" were [URL="http://www.weatherforyou.com/cgi-bin/hw3/hw3.cgi?forecast=wxhistory&icao=KNZY"]reported[/URL] as no more than 14mph during the last 48 hours?
As for 230-240: maybe on one downwind hole... ...during a gust.
Ain't the truth a *****?

Make up your score, the conditions and your yardages as you go along?

Thanks, but I'm doing fine on my own.

Quick question:
If this is "the first time EVER" that you've had no confusion, why is it you were so willing to tell everyone else for the last 6 years that you were sure you were doing it right?

Honky this was kinda a' cute.
I, well, actually we all want to know about the Miata. Are you racing the Miata? There are a lot of dudes that race the Miata in sanctioned races, and the Miata handles like a bastard; better than many cars.
N!gger, what the hell are you doing with a Miata?
Are you driving that punk b!tch ass car around town to pick up dudes?
Or race? If it is a race car, I will allow it; great track car.
Dude, you have to come clean on the Miata; you cannot keep ignoring that honky.
Maybe those were old photos you posted of your proud honky ass in front of that Miata, but no man owns a Miata unless as a race car...
But then ya'll honky ass begoggled cracker snowed in ass is crazy anyway.
Come clean jackass.
Come clean.
